Last time nd went to uva i had a glorious time.
We couldn’t tell what had happened until the ND fans at that end started celebrating. That was such a great throw and catch. Dinner at Peter Chang’s afterward was pretty good, too.
to take us down from Arlington in the morning, and drive us back at 1am. Turned out to be significantly cheaper than 3 hotel rooms we would have needed. As a bonus, I got to roll down the window as we rolled into the parking lot and ask "excuse me, where is your limousine section?" The parking guy laughed his ass off.
Had seat on the upper bowl opposite the endzone where he scored, and saw the whole play develop. elation.
We really packed Scott Stadium with ND fans.
I sold over 1300 tickets to ND fans for that game through our local alumni club. I assumed it would be our normal 30 to 50 tickets when I agreed to that job. I told our board that I am not doing it again for 2021. Man that was a lot of work! Not just me with tickets but there were quite a few others that put in a lot of work for that weekend.
Sitting in line where Malik broke leg. And saw Prosise TD that lives on in commercial. Could see Fuller break free and then heave. Knew it would be close. But did not see catch. Whole UVA crowd slumped to their seats. That confirmed it for me. Not sure what uva safety was doing.
One of my favorite pictures of B11 is just after the Fuller TD. He has tears in his eyes from when he thought the Irish were going to lose, but also a big smile. And plenty of dejected UVA people in the background.
You can only see him in the replay, but he's standing at the far corner of the end zone.
Jehosephat that was a terrible game.
So much going on in this photo.
is right in front of them.
would have stormed the field.
including the part of the field where that pass came from.
We were supposed to be taking our seats for the ceremony, but I was shouting at my phone while someone's Grandma walked by horrified. ND football turns me into a caveman.
I attended both games at UCLA and at Stanford. I'm pretty sure they would have won the 2007 national championship that year if I had traveled to all the games.
Those were the first ten college football games I ever attended. Some introduction to ND football!
Just looking quickly, we played 2 in California (USC and Navy in San Diego) in 2018, 2 in Texas (UT and Army in San Antonio) in 2016, and 2 in Pennsylvania (Pitt and Temple) in 2015.
At Temple on 10/31 and at Pitt on 11/7.
Also played at Texas and Shamrock Series in San Antonio against Army in 2016, and "at" Navy in San Diego and at USC in 2018. Didn't check beyond the Kelly era.
